The challenge — undertaken live on the GMB broadcast — saw Tony tackle the iconic structure, cheered on not only by viewers at home but also by special guest Ed Balls who joined him during the climb. Against immense odds, Tony completed the ascent wearing prosthetic legs, proving once again that physical barriers need not define ambition or achievement.

This accomplishment is another milestone in Tony’s ever-growing legacy of inspirational fundraising and advocacy. From early challenges to fundraise for children’s hospital support and raising awareness of child cruelty laws, Tony continues pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This latest success not only highlights his own courage and perseverance, but also shines a powerful spotlight on the mission of the Tony Hudgell Foundation — to support vulnerable children and champion systemic change.
